RANGERS qualified for the Europa League group stages for a fourth successive year last month.
This week, their latest continental campaign gets underway with a tough task on the horizon against Lyon.
The French giants come to town for Matchday One of this year's competition.
Lyon are regarded as the favourites to progress from Group A, which also hosts Celtic's former foes - Sparta Prague - as well as Brondby.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
